Notes
It is unclear whether the date - '10 Jany 1825' - relates to the whole drawing or the balustrade only. There is no entry in the Soane office Day Books for that date referring to the Board of Trade. On the verso of the drawing is part of an unfinished interior perspective with Ionic columns and a vaulted ceiling which does not appear to be related to the Board of Trade and Privy Council Offices.
